Hi mate

I play the same pool.

We need to be right 33% of the time on the river. If we think villain bluffs more than 1/3 of the time it's a call. Imho this is an underbluffed line by fish, especially with the potshove on the river. I would fold.

Curious to hear what others think though.


Snap call


Call, his line looks like BS and you beat worse AX, sry for your loss to 88.


Recs overbluff here so shrug call
